New episode is up and it’s a little banger. We’ve all had times where the lyrical content or imagery around rap has made us question, “This is all wrong?” The R Kelly scandal proves that this like many industries has a major problem with sexism, misconduct and the green lighting of behaviour by major stars and labels. This conversation covers a lot including the experience of the superb recording artist RoxXxan. Download it wherever good podcasts get got. #menbehavingbetter#hiphop#sexism#misogny#metoo#timesup

I want to apologize to all the women I have called pretty, before I have called them intelligent, or brave. I am sorry I made it sound as though something as simple as what you are born with is the most you have to be proud of when your spirit has crushed mountains. from now on I say things like you are resilient or you are extraordinary, not because I don’t think you are beautiful, but because you are so much more than that.

3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. #careykelly#muterkelly#metoo#timesup#thetruthhasavoice#survivingrkelly

“In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens.” ― Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence - From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror. #muterkelly#metoo#survivingrkelly#nomore#timesup#thetruthhasavoice

To limit this post to one quote doesn’t do this man justice. His words are as relevant and revolutionary now as they were then. And every single one of them reflects the words Jesus speaks in the Bible...The devil thought he won the day he stole this man from the world, but what it did was make his voice LOUDER and his message more POWERFUL. I think it’s time we all do more than honor this man with an annual post. What if we stop complaining, blaming, ignoring, and dividing and start LISTENING? What if we all started living these words? ❤️💙#mlk#timesup#lovedoes

@cleaneatsbytay posted something that stuck with me this morning about staying current. I think in the health and lifestyle niche of instagram especially, people tend to avoid speaking about what’s going on in the world outside these realms. And while that may not be the goal of some people’s pages, I totally get that. I also understand and respect some people don’t think it’s the right platform. But for me, my lifestyle transcends the food I eat and the way I work out. For me, it means staying involved. It means knowing my privilege, trying to walk a mile in another person’s shoes, and also inquiring on what I can do to be a better member of my community. I know it’s easy to look at everything going on in the world and just decide it’s not worth tuning in, or that it makes you sad. But honestly, I believe we are better when we are aware. When we are speaking up for what we believe in. When we are sharing the voices of those who don’t have an equal opportunity to be heard, or of those who just don’t feel heard in general. It was MLK who said the quote in this image I took of a wall in RVA, and I think it could not be more relevant today. You can start small— ask people around you how they are really feeling, and what you can do to help. @vice also posts Vice News Tonight in YouTube if you don’t have a subscription, and these short segments are incredibly digestible for people our age and highlight what is happening around the world in a very tangible way! This falls in line with my intention this week to do more to understand the world around me this week, and not let my little school stress vortex keep me completely underground. Hope you all have a great Monday 💚 #weeklyintentionswithiz

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
There is no freedom without justice, and racial justice and economic justice are embedded in the fight for reproductive freedom.
We honor the great legacy of Dr. King today and everyday, and join with all those across movements fighting to realize King’s vision of America.

A new day is on the horizon. We will no longer sit back and watch from the sidelines. THIS is what democracy looks like. WE are the leaders. WE are the future. So proud to be a human...a woman..an American. So proud to be part of this movement for a third year. March on.

May we take G I A N T strides in speaking up for those in need. Thankful for the incredible courage of this man.

You still walking around wondering why somebody mad at you while they are smiling and knocking at your door to hangout and defame everybody, everyday. It's always the 1 or 2 with levels of masked insecurities strong enough to poison even the strongest of bonds.

Get some help brother. Your insecurities over the years have been shunned or overlooked. #timesup#exposed
